Re: kernel read fault when accessing context variables


Thanks for your help, the sched_switch trace point seems like a good option
and works fine on my machine. I just really wanted to get it to work the
other way if for no other reason than I spent so much time trying to get it
to work, I may keep trying. Funny thing is that I can get my original script
working on an embedded ARM 9 running Ubuntu 9.10 but I can't get it on my
PC. :-/
